Extract

The treatment of sugarcane pith with various methods in order to upgrade its nutritive value and to increase the utilisation of its energy by ruminants has been widely employed in many parts of the world (Sansoucy et al. 1988). The aim of the experiment was to improve the nutritive value of sugarcane pith by a biological treatment and to assess the possibility of its maximum inclusion as a replacement with Lucerne hay in the diet of finishing Shal lambs.
